Hi all, I am looking to make a change in career, I’m currently in the military but will be out in November this year. So I’m basically just looking for a bit of advice/guidance on where to begin. I have found local courses (North Wales) that I could start with to become a competent ground worker that include chainsaw maintenance, cross cutting and felling up to 380mm. This would cost around £1200. Once I have completed those courses, would I be right in thinking that I would then be employable at around the £80-£100 a day mark? (Considering I don’t have any of my own PPE as yet) Any help/advice/guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Hi all, first time posting on this forum. I'm rebuilding a 2007 stihl ms880. Saved it from the scrap. The history of the saw is it's been used for 2 months, then sat on a shelf for years. Then when using for the first time, the piston popped and since then has been condemned. I don't like seeing fixable tools been thrown away so I jumped at the task to give it a shot and rebuild. At first glance I thought a new piston was all it needs but further inspection need to change the crankshaft bearings, seals, gasket and new cylinder head. I've bought £150 in parts, but from further inspection it Could potentially cost another £450 My plan was to use the saw for milling. My question is, is it worth me to continue with the build with the potential it not work at all. Or should I just sell it for spares Cheers 👍

This is a rather odd request... I'm after some advise from people who know what there talking about because I defiantly do not! I know its a long way off however for one of my boyfriends Christmas presents I would like to buy him a new splitting axe (seeing as the head flew off his last one, spiralling through the air luckily not into the direction of any living objects) I know he likes the Gransfor ones although I've seen a nice Husqvarna splitting axe I like better. Does anyone have any reviews or splitting axes they recommend? I would just ask him but don't want to spoilt the surprise Many thanks in advance!!
